It does look like the 7th row left. I've changed it to Thalassodes sp.

Dan I find lack images of Thalassodes species where you need to collect information. Take care try to draft page on Thalassodes on Wiki
Ashish
There is hugh list of Thalassodes where I feel matching. From Top first in 7th row. see black dots and antennas are similar. But no picture find. Wiki had no specie information, find specie long list on EoL. http://www.classicnatureprints.com/pr.Seitz.Butterflies/sz.thalassodes.diplodesma.html http://www.eol.org/pages/34092

I think I've found the right species. Do you agree?
Ashish
Another helpful site find http://www.lepbarcoding.org/geometridae/progress_reports.php?region=1&lvl=subfamily&type=Geometrinae
Ashish
Check Bathycolpodes sp.
Dan Doucette
Thanks. I can't find the species but I think we've narrowed it down. It's hard to see the names on the classicnatureprints.
Ashish
Its a critical search on this link http://www.classicnatureprints.com/pr.Seitz.Butterflies/Seitz.Index1.html

It does look like it could be an emerald moth. I can't find an exact match yet.
